Considering how problematic water heaters can be, I’d refuse shipment on that. Especially with the glass lining. It looks like someone hit it with a forklift or something.
I bought a fancy trap, and they chewed through it.
I hung paper bags up to simulate a hornets nest. Useless
I’ve filled in their burrows and repainted. Nope.
Only thing that has worked is hunting them with my pup. She’ll track and bark at them, I’ll swat them down with a broom, she pins 'em, and I go in for the kill with my boot.
Would love to find a more hands off solution that works, though.They’re literally eating me out of home.
Nope, anything where the box has a hole through it I refuse to accept the shipment. I've seen too many incidents where "it looks fine, it's a small hole" turn into a nightmare.
No expert, but that looks like it took a pretty heavy hit. I probably wouldn’t risk it. Depending on how bad the old one is leaking, you may want to turn the water off and deal with no water for a couple of days
Shouldn’t be a problem to tie them both together. You’ll want to add check valves on both lines before they join together. If you haven’t bought a fan yet, I highly recommend the Panasonic WhisperFit series. They pull a ton of air, are energy efficient, and are very quiet. I went from having condensation on my mirror after a shower to nothing at all.
